Chapter 70
Song Guanchao prided himself on being able to read people, yet at that moment, he found Director Liu to be impenetrable.
He had just landed his deputy in a police precinct, and here the man was, toasting him.
It was preposterous.
So preposterous that he even suspected that Director Liu held a grudge against Yang Yongqiang.
After a swig of liquor, Director Liu’s face flushed rosy, he smacked his lips, took a bite of his dish, and then said, "Brother Song, you have no idea how thrilled I was when I heard that Yang Yongqiang was arrested! If it weren’t for having to work, I’d have asked you out for a drink right at noon!"
Song Guanchao and Liang Hao exchanged glances, their faces twitching.
He had guessed right; these two really did hate each other...
Director Liu didn’t consider himself an outsider, spilling everything as if pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Yang Yongqiang, though he was the second in command, had been stepping on Director Liu’s toes for a long time, controlling all matters big and small in the bureau, essentially sidelining Director Liu.
Now that Yang Yongqiang had been arrested, the power had returned to Director Liu’s hands.
And here he was, wanting to have drinks with Song Guanchao right away, to thank him properly.
